A gentleman by the name of Adam Jones led a Canon Destination Workshop to Yellowstone National Park in September of last year, as well as other prominent photography locations, to focus on autumn landscapes. Jones said the Yellowstone is at its prime in September, at that's why it was so important to be leading a workshop there. To capture an image like the one below, Jones said you need three basic ingredients: subject, lighting, and background. This specific image was taken Madison Junction "well before sunrise."
The next image posted below was taken in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Jones indicated that this area is a best kept secret in the U.S. because of it's fall colors surrounding small lakes, ponds, bogs, and much more, providing countless photographic opportunities.
Another tip that Jones shares with photographers on these type of workshops is to "look for the scene within the scene, it truly is more important how you see things, than how you photograph them." One example he uses to demonstrate this point is the photo pictured below.
One thing that I noticed Jones mentioning but not focusing on a whole lot was the fact that he did scout every area before taking these (and additional) photos during this particular Canon Destination Workshop. He would visit these areas way before the moment he actually photographed them, mapped it out in his head of how he wanted the photo to be crafted, and would come back when it would just right to create such pieces of art like the ones shared in this blog post.
For a workshop designed specifically to capture autumn landscape, there appeared to be a lot of freedom with how or what you wanted to capture, as long as you kept those three basic ingredients in mind and looked past the surface level of what could become a great photo.
